STEVE can also heip you with a starter / generator / wire harness if needed.... and answer ALL the questions..

I got the new distributor, and it still sputters, but wont run. it sparks fine. I checked the compression and i had zero psi in 3 and only 90 in 4. 1 and 2 were 140. Not good enough to run!

I took the head of in 15 minutes. You gotta love tractors. the valves in 3 werent seating properly, and the ex valve in 4 was chipped away. So that explains that.

gonna order some parts, and have the valve seats redone. I finally got the book on my tractor/forklift, and the book says I have a Power Crater 160 motor, but I cant find much info on them, anyone know?

apparently there was also a perkins 3 cyl that was called that as well.

couple of sites list a different part number for the later D15 II engines ( i think they mean the 175 cid diesel)-- ( valve kit).. some site list them as all the same..( gas??). VERIFY with vendor prior to purchase..

The Allis WD came out in 1948 with W Series 201 cu.in. with Flat Top Pistons.

In 1953 the WD was upgraded and introduced as the WD-45.

The 'W' Block was revised, the stroke was increased to give 226 cu.in. and the Flat Top Pistons were replaced with dished top Pistons.

This Engine was advertised on WD-45 Brochures as:

   The Dynamic New WD-45 tractor with POWER-CRATER Engine

The G Series Engine, as it was known, was introduced in 1957 by Allis as a 149 cu.in. Engine in one of first 'D' Series Tractors, the D-14,a 6 Volt electric

In 1959 Allis introduced the D-10 and D-12, de-cubed to 138 cu.in. still 6 Volt.

In 1961 the G Engine was back to 149 in D-10 / 12, but with 12 Volt.

About that same time the D-15 was introduced replacing the D-14, but still 149.

The early D-15 were grossly underpowered for their size, esp. with D-10 and     D-12's having the same Engine.

So the D-15 was upgraded to a Ser.II Model with a 160 cu.in. Engine.

Other mods to the 160 were a Full-Flow Oil Filter ( Fram PH8A), replacing the previous By-Pass filter (C159), a horizontal Dry Type Air Filter , replacing the Oil-Bath style.

This gives you a little more insight to the Allis progression from the 'B/C' Series 125 cu.in. up to the G Series 160 cu.in.

BTW the 500 Series and 600 Series Rough Terrain Fork Lift are NOT based on the D-15 Farm Tractor like some other Allis Industrial Models.

The 500's and 600's are an extra Heavy Duty Brute all their own.
